Meeting Grade Level Standards |

MUSD Compliance with the Pupil Textbook and Instructional Materials Act |
|
The "Williams Act" ensures that all students have access to base program learning materials in a safe environment.
At the September Board Meeting, the MUSD Board of Education determined that 100% of MUSD schools had sufficient, standards aligned textbooks and instructional materials by the eighth week of school!

On Thursday, October 28th MUSD’s TK-3rd grade teachers participated in Jumpstart's Read for the Record, a global shared reading experience in which teachers all over the nation read the same book to their class. This year teachers read “Amy Wu and the Patchwork Dragon.”
As students listened, they worked on their reading comprehension and vocabulary building by answering questions prompted by their teacher.
At the end of the story, kindergarteners (pictured above) created their own dragon puppets!
Working on early reading with your student at home? Here are some helpful tips to make reading interactive while building reading comprehension!
-
Ask questions about why characters are having certain feeling. “Why would _____make the character feel ____?”
-
Make predictions about the story with your student. “I think ____ will happen because ____.”
-
Connect the story to your student’s life. “Doesn’t this story remind you of that one time you____?”
